So engines falling off of B-52s is now a thing. Spin that the right way and it's a good OPR bullet for "Improvised novel anti-pers ordnance; 1st successful test drop in USAF"

Lite_Sleepr will enjoy this. So I'm about 23 days shy of sewing on MSgt, and have to turn a Chief (gasp) from my Group's (double gasp!) kid out. She's coming in to extend her dependency past 21, but the only documentation she's got is a letter from her college back in November for last semester. Her 21st birthday isn't until May of this year, so I explain that I can get her extended benefits set up 90 days out but I'm gonna need something showing current enrollment, not full-time last semester with "expected to return" in the spring since I have no way of knowing she's still a student, and TRICARE is kinda expensive. Cue the acting MPS sup rolling in and overriding me in front of my guys before I can pull him to the back for a big boy talk. When I straight up tell him this was an answer he wouldn't give to SrA XXX but is giving to CMSgt YYY, he balks and acts indignant. Okay, cool. It's a policy disagreement then, I'm gonna call up to my good buddy Ed at AFPC who runs their DEERS policy program for clarification. He immediately tells me to wait until after the kid has their card before I send a message to find out the answer. Yup, bad sign - that tells me you know it's wrong but you're too petrified of one Chief to follow AFI, especially once you rear end-kissed him and promised a result. I tell him there's no way we'll do it, he says he'll cover the hit, I tell him bullshit because my guys will have to do the work and will be ultimately responsible. After he shuts the gently caress up and listens to the second and third order effects (which would be said Chief's kid being potentially stranded in Europe with no TRICARE or ID until she could unfuck things with her school) he now has to go slinking back to the MSG/CCC he just made mealymouthed promises to and tell him just kidding. So, AFI and doing the right thing over politics and an E-9. What's the over-under on me losing my line number in the next three weeks?

If all nobles must hang, all Chiefs must be drawn and quartered. It's the classical punishment for treason.

Got to watch a Chief-chasing SMSgt select (who also happens to be my rater) get reamed by a MAJCOM IG team during an exercise this week for not establishing security or positive control of any kind while running a PDF line. Something I had told her and the 2Lt someone was cruel enough to make the PDF OIC about roughly ten times over two days. Mostly after coming in from a smoke and seeing exercise deployers in Kevlars and gas mask carriers puffing away at the smoke pit. Even showed them the regs that PDF must maintain positive control to prevent a deployer from wandering the gently caress off and missing movement because otherwise someone will, every time. Suggested several easy fixes and go-ahead, got blown off repeatedly. It didn't really get addressed until I eventually clued in an inspector after getting sick of trying to unfuck such a basic mistake. They told a Major to go wander off. PDF didn't realize he was missing (surprise, they didn't get good accountability either) for several hours and eventually found him taking a nap in the IDO's office. Every time someone bitches about why we do exercises, its because of people like this. I can't loving wait for the hot wash. It'll probably come out that I burned her but gently caress it. I tell you enough times to fix your poo poo on the bro level, don't bitch when I eventually drop the hammer and you look incompetent. Wild T fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Mar 31, 2017 |

It still cracks me up that kinder eggs are banned because they contain toys and, supposedly, a kid could choke. If your kid can swallow a full-sized plastic egg they're probably old enough to know that part isn't food. Ironically my kids hated the chocolate part and would just throw it away to get the lovely little playmobil toy inside.

Eventually all pilots and MX will separate and the USAF will ascend to its ultimate state: nothing but a series of HQ staffs, MPS and Finance offices circlejerking in a bureaucratic vacuum free from the annoyance of side issues like 'missions.'

dscruffy1 posted:Yeah, I'm a bit more time specific than last time I took Space-A. There's websites like militaryfares.com but $600 round trip two months out sounds like bullshit. If you presumably have a car in Germany, fly out of Spang. When I used to do it I got out on every flight (most folks are too lazy or scared to leave Ramstein) and you could park in a grass lot for free while you're gone. Just make sure to sign up for the return at 0000 on your first day of leave so you can beat out all the folks who wait til they want to leave to sign up.

Larry Parrish posted:People focusing on getting promoted as fast as humanly possible instead of being good at their job deserve to get transferred to Diego Garcia or uhh, whatever the one in the Azores is called for 20 years Diego you actually had to be reasonably competent since you pretty much worked autonomously. They even make you get a letter from your CC stating you were competent and could be trusted to work with minimal supervision. Of course I got sent there so you see how strictly this policy is enforced

Godholio posted:Because everything is put together so piecemeal and half-assed, from the hardware to the software to the maintenance and support contracts, and the process to fix any of this is orders of magnitude too slow to keep up with changing (practical and real world) requirements. When I was in DGAR we’d lose NIPR like clockwork. What helped was that the USAF unit there was OCO funded and someone a few rotations back spent hella cash on the E-6 and below barracks, meaning we had NIPR machines and DSN lines in our rooms. If NIPR went out I’d usually tell my boss I was punching out since everything I did was through Guam anyway and catch up in my room whenever it came back up. Meaning about 85% of DGAR’s CSS work from 2015-2016 was done either drunk or nursing a hangover. Tellingly the quality didn’t noticably change.
